Alan Temple doesn't seem to post stuff until it's almost certainly done. Haven't read the article, but a good indication it is happening if he is on it.

Wing back on either side that can also play centre midfield is a welcome addition. 3 positions we feel light in at the moment.

I don't suppose he's a triplet......

Good on them, hopefully we would do the same.

If that’s what they think he is worth to the team, why sell him for any less

All Scottish teams have been taking for mugs over the years for transfer fees about time we all started demanding what players are actually worth

Exactly this, Celtic are wanting £27m for ORiley. The other 10 Scottish clubs should inflate their prices as best they can and get more from the ugly sisters.

Oh dear.

Top 6 is worth 2 million quid. That plus gate money playing potentially an old firm, Aberdeen and united it could be worth nearly 2.5 million.

Giving mccowan away for 750K isn’t worth that.

Hope they do though and crumble.

LUCA STEPHENSON #3
Shirt there if he wants it.
Might be the best of the lot.

I haven't been as impressed by some of the signings as some on here but after watching a bit on YouTube and his interview I get a good feeling about the lad.

SuperMario · 15/8/2024 7:17 pm

He’s certainly saying all the right things, got high hopes for him.

Get him in the starting 11 Sunday, hard game but will give him a good introduction to Scottish football

12 Signings you're doing well to only get 1 flop
=>
Odada: get him out on loan.
Adegboya: fringe/squad
Holt: fringe/good squad player
Middleton: sell, thanks for you're best efforts last year

Buzzing with signings so far, not just quality but balance, right players for positions.
Get another CF I'll be totally buzzing.

10/10 Jim.

Agreed.

On both counts.

Odada needs games,ridiculous to write him off already

United Arab Emarite · 16/8/2024 7:08 am

Do you not think the new boy looks like a Roman general?
Think we should call him Lucius.
Though why not the #3 shirt a la Robbo?

Shedtastic · 16/8/2024 10:33 am

Robbo wore number 26 with us and Liverpool did he not?

Yes indeed but I was thinking more along the lines of the classic left back #3.
Shades of Jimmy Briggs. Those were the days!
Shades of Maurice Malpas too. Now those were the days!!

They've given Lucius #17 maybe more befitting his adaptability.

He's been #2 for about a season and a third now.

Technically he was. But then he left before the season started. Only wore it in a friendly.

He does need games, so do others, Kai for one.
He does need games, he's a mile off it, so we're now in a situation where the season's started, we can't put people on just because they need game time.
Chicken and egg, yes he needs game time but no he's not got what it takes without proven game time.
That said, hope he comes good. So hope I'm wrong.

He'll get cameos plus will no doubt play in the tinpot trophy next round. He had no pre season at all remember. I understand your point but just mental to suggest that we sign the guy then put him out on loan when he's not even been given a chance.
